Following the revelation of their engagement, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced a date for their highly-anticipated wedding. Here's what you need to know...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have only been engaged a few weeks but the excitement surrounding their upcoming nuptials is already nearing fever pitch.

Up until now the pair had only revealed that they would marry in the spring but Kensington Palace has finally confirmed the official date for the wedding: May 19, 2018.

The ceremony will take place at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, after which Meghan reportedly plans to become a British citizen.

Royal-to-be Meghan was the topic of conversation across the UK earlier this week too after it was revealed that she has been invited to spend Christmas Day with the Queen, making her the first ever partner of a royal to receive the invitation pre-marriage.
